Prevalence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesNigerian Journal of Paediatrics, 2021
Background Improvement in neonatal services across Africa has led to increased survival of preterm and low birth weight neonates with consequent rising incidence of ROP.

Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Improves Alveolar Development Impairment via Targeting VAMP8‐mediated SNAREs Complex Formation in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of the tryptophan‐derived metabolite indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) on lung development and autophagic flux. IPA alleviates hyperoxia‐induced alveolar arrest by promoting autophagosome‐lysosome fusion via inhibition of VAMP8 phosphorylation, which is suggestive of a promising therapeutic target of BPD.

High-Temperature Alkali Vapor Cells with Anti-Relaxation Surface Coatings

open access: yes, 2009
Antirelaxation surface coatings allow long spin relaxation times in alkali-metal cells without buffer gas, enabling faster diffusion of the alkali atoms throughout the cell and giving larger signals due to narrower optical linewidths.

Serum VEGF levels in infants at risk for developing retinopathy of prematurity

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2019
Background: Because excessive growth of abnormal retinal vessels in the developing eye of the premature infant underlies retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), it may be hypothesized that a change in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level in the ...

Biodegradable Carbonate Nanogels Loaded with Anti MFAP‐5 siRNA for Anti‐stromal Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polycarbonate nanogels enable lipid‐free delivery of anti‐MFAP‐5 siRNA into cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAF) in hepatocellular carcinoma. In a cirrhotic murine model, this approach silences MFAP‐5, reduces fibroblast activation, and suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting NOTCH/Hes1‐driven angiogenesis. CAF‐targeted MFAP‐5 RNAi and conserved signaling

Exploring the features of keratometry readings in premature children

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2021
Background: It is important for pediatric ophthalmologists to explore the keratometry parameters used in selection of contact lenses (and thus to improve visual function, quality of life, and treatment of complications of refractive errors) in premature ...

Soybean Auxin Transporter PIN3 Regulates Nitrate Acquisition to Improve Nitrogen Use and Seed Traits

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Xu et al. discovers that switching off auxin transporters in soybean, PIN3a and PIN3b, disrupts auxin flow; this triggers ARF‐STF3/4 signal cascade to activate the nitrate importer NPF2.13 and soil nitrogen acquisition. Multi‐year field trials show edited soybeans maintain yield with higher oil content, offering a potential genetic route to improve ...

Immunoaffinity‐Mimetic Assembly of Peptide‐Aptamer Conjugates and Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes into Hierarchical Microgels for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by antibody‐antigen binding, this study develops an unprecedented immunoaffinity‐mimetic assembly strategy, with Peptide‐AptCD63 conjugates acting as antibody surrogates binding CD63 epitopes on mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes. This creates a hierarchical microstructure intended to synergistically integrate antioxidative and anti ...

Fast and Reliable Primary Frequency Reserves From Refrigerators with Decentralized Stochastic Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Due to increasing shares of renewable energy sources, more frequency reserves are required to maintain power system stability. In this paper, we present a decentralized control scheme that allows a large aggregation of refrigerators to provide Primary ...

“Oxygen with Love” and Diode Laser Treatment Decreases Comorbidity and Avoidable Blindness due to Retinopathy of Prematurity: Results Achieved in the Past 12 Years

open access: yesPediatrics and Neonatology, 2013
To determine whether the “Oxygen with Love” (OWL) and diode laser treatment provided in a neonatal intensive care unit has reduced the risk of avoidable blindness caused by retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) over the past decade.
